Teacher Background

●Matter (anything that has mass and takes up space) can be classified by physical properties
including, shape, texture, flexibility, relative temperature, and whether the material is a solid or
liquid.

●Matter can be observed using the senses as tools and by using tools such as hand lenses,
goggles, beakers, student thermometers, flashlights, magnets, and balances.

●States of matter,such as solid and liquid, are physical properties.

●Engineers choose materials to build their designs based on the material’s physical properties.

Possible Student Misconceptions

●Students may think that an object can be classified by only one physical
property.

●Students may think that heat (a form of energy) and relative temperature(a
measurement) are the same.

●Students may think that solids can only be hard and not soft.

●Students may think that materials like sand and salt are not solids.

Physical Property

Something about an
object or material that
you can observe with
your senses

LO: SWBAT classify matter by observable
properties using patterns and tools.

DOL: Given scenarios, SW correctly classify
matter by observable properties using patterns
in at least 3 of 4 questions.

2.6A Classify matter by observable physical properties, including texture, flexibility, and relative temperature, and identify whether a
material is a solid or liquid.
SEPs 2.5A Identify and use patterns to describe phenomena or design solutions.

objects.

24

What did you observe about the
sand’s properties when you shook
the container?

How can you use physical properties
to write a What Am I? riddle about
one of your objects?

I am _______ and ______. I am _______
and _______. I am ________. What am I?

What is matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter
has properties. A property is something about an object that you
can observe with your senses.

The canoe, the water,
and the dog are matter.

25

_____.
____

Flexibility and texture are properties. Texture is how
an object looks or feels. Flexibility is how easily an
object can bend.

flexible

not flexible

rough

smooth

26

lamp

rubber bands
ruler

eraser

paper clips

____

______

hot

cold

Temperature is how hot or cold something is.
Relative temperature is how hot or cold something feels.
It is an observable physical property of matter.

27

_____________

solid

liquid

A solid is something that has definite shape. A liquid
is a material that can flow and drip. Solids and liquids
are states of matter or the physical forms in which
matter can exist.

28

___

___

Which word describes a physical property
that is shared by all these objects?

hard

flexible

rough

30

Which objects are rough?
Which objects are flexible?
Which objects are hot?
Which objects are cold?

The _____and _____ are rough.
The _____, _____, and ____ are flexible.
The ____ is hot.
The _____ is cold.

31

Sort the objects into two groups.
What property did you use to classify
the objects?

I classified by _____.

32

DOL: Given
scenarios, SW
correctly classify
matter by
observable
properties using
patterns in at least
3 of 4 questions.
